Advice to Management

Since the acquisition of Jefferson Wells and COMSYS by Manpower, the organizational cultures that made these companies successful have been dismantled, and as a result there is now discord within the field. Management should consider moving back towards being a field driven organization, and focusing on what made JW and COMSYS successful in the past.

I had a very good experience working for this company. They were always there for me if any issues came up. Contracting is not like being an FTE, so you need to keep that in mind. I have worked for other consulting firms before, and this was the best experience for me. I was with them on multiple contracts over a three year period. The hourly rate was above average, and the benefits were pretty good.

Cons

As with most consulting companies, there is usually a high turnover of staff moving on to other opportunities. This is hard if you have built a relationship with an account manager and have to start over again.

Very friendly and professional recruiters, the seek to understand you and your capabilities and try to match you to the best jobs that come across their searches. Their recruiters share information and work as a team to try to place you.

Cons

They're only as good as the jobs available in your area - they can't create jobs, they can only place you into opportunities that are out there.
